  1. i went on one of the skinny little fishing boats which i would recommend. Me and a mate basically joined a fisherman on his little outrigger boat and learnt how simple fishing can be or moreso how much our fancy gear can complicate things. We spent the day trolling and chasing congregating schools (watching the forming birds) and it only cost me $50Au. He (the driver) would pretty much take us for however long but we turned in pretty early as my mate was extremely hung over.
  2. just curious, which groynes do you have most luck on?? i tried the western most groyne a few times for zuilch
  3. Well it looks like i probably try some of those places at the hacking, iv attempted at wallys wharf once but that place was chock a block, even at 11 at night. Do squid follow the clean/clear water?
  4. Hey guys, would really like to try my hand at some squid to feed either a juicy kingy or myself. I rarely have a great deal of time so would need to go somewhere close by (landbased). Im thinking captain cook bridge either sutherland side off the old boat ramp (but surely the jig would struggle in all the weed?) other option was the wharf on the opposite side. If anyone has had any luck these places i would greatly appreciate an inside word. Cheers
  5. doesnt everyone struggle climbing down those rock type structures, they were a pain in the ass to climb around and it seemed a very uncomfortable spot to fish
  6. yeah sorry thats what i meant i think, through the jaw would be a more appropriate way of saying it. as in up under the chin and out of the nose
  7. Where abouts do you fish off there?? last time i was there the water level went over the rocks and made the point inaccessible? could only fish in closer to the green on the pic
  8. iv always been told through the mouth is the best bet with poddies, though havent had a great deal of experience with them. just curiously where about are u getting your poddies and u getting them with a trap?

    thats a dangerous photo, looks like my savings will suffer again this week those pencils look awesome. Might be obvious but why would you put on bigger hooks?
  10. i felt like we moved into the wrong spot by setting up a lazy drift in towra, it seemed like there was a bit of action in the bay but we were both over the moon thought and couldnt be bothered dealing with much else. i didnt see anything at all being pulled by other boats did any other raiders get any solid fish on the saturday??
  11. Went out this morning and got onto the water about 6am. Went quickly to baldface and got some live bait, herring im pretty sure. After we had about 10 we headed over near the airport. Picked a marker and set camp, sent the first bait under a float then the other with a size 2 sinker and no exaggeration about 1 minuted after it was in it holder it got smacked. Was soo nervous when it was on the line as i had a good idea what it was. Boated it and it was a king at 68cm! I am still over the moon. We left livies out to no more such luck, on bait picked up a 39cm flattie and 33cm trev which went back but the flatty and kingy werent soo lucky. I saw a reasonable amount of action around the marker hitting the surface, splashes sounded of reasonable size, what would this of been? i tried a couple lures but to no avail. The rest of the day was spent dealing with the swarm of baby snapper. no photos, if only i had a camera!! too late now as he is cut up and ready to eat for tea tonight!
  12. i live about 2 minutes from there, have only really tried fishing there twice and went home empty handed

    I was near there! fishing around sylvania waters/capt cook bridge will definatelty be giving the lures a better go on the boat on the weekend.
  16. bought myself some poppers the other day, 2 smaller models (bushys stiffy popper and a cheapie) and a larger rooster popper. Tried the small ones yesterday and fell in love. Really enjoyed how visible the fishing is being able to see the swipes at the lures. ended up getting a 24cm bream and 30cm flathead (which was very unexpected) within about 30-45 minutes. So im just wondering what peoples tactics are with poppers in regards to retrieves etc? Also is there an ideal depth to fish them? cheers
  17. was there a week ago and was fishing into the lake, got my first flattie on a hardbody very hapy! At the time though everyone seemed to be doing well off the beach was absolutely packed but saw some good numbers of fish atleast compared to the lake where i saw maybe 2 legal fish caught the whole time.
  18. seems to be plenty of bait around the bay, i was doing well on a whitebait type lure until it got lodged into my forehead
  19. im heading up to the entrance myself this weekend, any tips on where to head to flick for flathead?
  20. i spent half my holiday up the coast trying to get poddies and learnt a few things from multiple empty traps... just a note the trap i was using was similiar to the alvey style. I first found leaving the trap was a no no. berley trails from the traps were getting eaten by gulls. Instead it was alot more time efficient to stay and add a slow steady burley till they were on the boil around the trap. Shallow waters were alot more productive, where i had the best results was probly in only about 6-8 inches of water. One poddy in the trap will bring more in, they seem to gather aound and there was a heck of alot more activity when there was poddy/ies in the trap. For this reason i was leaving one poddy in when i emptied the trap, BUT i also learnt they WILL often swim out of the alvey style traps but it was still worth it to bring more fish in. After getting home i tried catching them by line and observed a bit their feeding habit a bit closer, the bigger sized mullet seem to prefer floating bread. also floating baits seem to make the muller 'splash' from what i saw the commotion brought ALOT more around for a feed this is opposed to doughy bread which sank and often only eaten by the tiny piddly stuff. have had good results on a handline size 12 hook no sinker and bread not completely squashed onto the hook so it may float slightly now all i have to do is actually get some results from using them, anyone have any suggestions where i can take these poddies for some BIG flatties in botany/georges river? PS a note on using them which people have hammered into my head is if pinning them through the back/shoulder use an offset hook, if through the nose a straight hook. may be begginer stuff but its helped me.
  21. also quite curious on these things, but whats are slugos?
  22. hey guys first post after trying to sign up for a long time (email adress issues). just got myself a small tinnie and have not had many trips and have definately not had alot of luck. Only really manage to bring back (at most) one fish per trip currently as my knowledge and experience in the bay by boat is limited. Enjoy throwing around some plastics for flatties and wondering if anywhere is a goer right now? have seen alot of boat gathering at towra on a runout when i cross the bridge heading to work. Are any members having any luck around there? pretty broad question i know but i dont have many 'fishy' friends to chat to. Cheers. PS is there anywhere to gather live bait without heading all the way over to moll point? ( i put in at st george motor boat)
